Nvidia board weighs Jensen Huang's future after alleged affairs
Nvidia's board was set to meet Wednesday evening to decide the fate of CEO Jensen Huang amid repeated scandals, including a liaison with a suspected Chinese spy and an alleged second affair with a subordinate. The company's stock dropped nearly 8% in after-hours trading. The Wall Street Journal reported the board meeting, citing sources close to the matter. The New York Times detailed a second alleged relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's 48-year-old vice president for healthcare, citing videos and witness accounts of affectionate behavior at a San Jose conference. Huang previously admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive, after US intelligence flagged her as a possible agent of China's Ministry of State Security. He apologized to employees, and the board has launched an independent investigation into foreign intelligence targeting.
